Riot Is trying so hard to close their eyes on how incredibly boring she Is to play against,she's a lot more acceptable since she got reworked,but from bronze to challenger,she's still a champion that makes you want to bonk your head to the table when you see her picked In the enemy team.

You can't predict her(warding?)skills,you just know you're gonna have a boring game.

Her weakness Itself Is boring to work with or against:not being able to assist a gank.It's an existant weakness alright,but needing the jungler to get Involved to actually get stuff going Is really Inconsistant.

Also she has a heal that removes grievous wound,which Is suppose to counter heals(why?)

Calling her kit toxic is silly.

She has a heal which can be a pain, but only if you are only poking very lightly. Learn to poke harder, since her heals hurt herself. And she can only regain life via starcall which is easy to avoid if you move well, not to mention the kinda short range. The damage of starcall falls off hard too with no ap.

Her silence zone can be good, but its easy to stay out of especially when ranged.

Her biggest weakness is she can't help her ADC outside a heal with a reasonable CD. No ability to peel or run interference. If she pushes with ADC its unlikely she can do much in the event of a ganks.

That's not just engages either, that counts for bit lane fights. If you and support really attack her ADC, there is little she can do.

Doesn't seem toxic at all, and I'd be surprised if anyone agreed with you.

League of Legends doesn't have any champions who has an ''healer'' role. Most supports in the game rely on hard CC to keep their carry alive. While it is true that Soraka doesn't have the same skill cap as Thresh or Morgana, her positioning is much more important because you MUST survive during fights by hiding behind your carry. If you die first in a fight, the fight is mostly over for your team. Since her healings are the only thing she can do, its fair to give them a grievous wound invulnerability, or else she would be one of the most useless champion in the game.

Is she fun to play against? Hell no, but its like saying that you like to lane against Darius or Garen, no one likes to play against strong early game champions. Does it mean she's boring? No, she offers a different kind of play for support and force the enemy team to adapt to it. For once, you can type in chat ''focus the support''. Make the mistake to leave her untouched during fights and you'll regret it.

TL;DR: Soraka has an unique kit that makes her different from the tanky roaming balls of CC's that are supports atm, making her everything but a boring champion to play against or with, Rito shouldn't remove the grievous wound invulnerability unless they want to kill the champ and she's more complex than what most people think of her (still not on Thresh/Morgana level).

agreed

by far the most boring champion in the game to play against. I want to afk and often dodge when i see her picked and i am bot lane, just because of how uninteractive and terribly boring the lane becomes. she basically forces the lane to become a farm lane.

id rather play against any of these: Vladimir Teemo Yorick Fizz rather than soraka. actually id rather play against any champion in the game instead of soraka. not because she is op, but because she sucks all the fun out of bot lane and makes it more boring than staring at a wall
